A Rochester Hills woman with 24 past license suspensions is facing major court problems after being arraigned for drunken driving Monday.

Ann Marie Cummins, 44, pleaded not guilty in 52-4 District Court in Troy before Magistrate Clement Waldmann. She faces charges of operating while intoxicated, second offense, and driving while license suspended. Her bond was set at $2,000 cash/surety or 10 percent.

Cummins is accused in a travel incident that unfolded at 12:15 p.m. Sunday. Troy Police said a driver flagged down a Troy officer and pointed out another vehicle that had rear-ended her car and then failed to stop after the accident.

The officer stopped the suspect's vehicle and made contact with the driver. The driver, Cummins, stated she had not stopped because she knew she was not supposed to be driving, police said.

The officer checked Cummins' status and found that her driver's license was suspended -- she had 24 suspensions -- and she had outstanding warrants for her arrest issued by six different law enforcement agencies. Additionally, Cummins was found to be in possession of a controlled substance -- prescription muscle relaxer, police said.

She admitted she did not have a prescription for the drug. She was arrested for possession of a controlled substance, driving while license suspended and failure to stop and identify at an accident. No one was injured in the accident.

Fred Woodhams, communications manager with the Michigan Secretary of State, said people convicted of repeat driving while license suspended, "which Cummins has been multiple times and may be again stemming from the recent incident, can result in up to a year in jail, a $1,000 fine and two $500 driver responsibility fees."

He said a conviction for second-offense operating while intoxicated can result in up to a $1,000 fine, two $1,000 driver responsibility fees and between five days to a year in jail. A second-offense operating while intoxicated conviction also results in a license revocation, which, Woodhams said, "means the person would have to go before a department staff person and convince that person he or she can operate a vehicle safely in addition to paying off any fines that are outstanding."

In Cummins' case, Woodhams said her record shows her license has been suspended since 2005 and she isn't able to register a vehicle.

"Because the department already has suspended her driving privileges, any additional penalties for driving with a suspended license would be imposed by the court system as criminal penalties," Woodhams explained.
